Corporate support
Charity partnerships
We want to form lasting active partnerships with companies who share our values and who want to help young people thrive.
We are grateful for the support we receive from small businesses, larger companies and our wider local community. For Surrey based companies there is no better way to make a difference to young people, improving their wellbeing and giving them the resilience they need to thrive – at home, at work and at play.
“We understand, more than ever, that not everybody has the start in life that we enjoyed. Eikon is an awesome team that proactively helps less fortunate young people in our local communities. As well as being involved directly with the charity, we want to raise as much awareness as possible for them.”

Cause related marketing
Donating a percentage of your sales or your annual turnover has never been easier. Sign up to give via our partner site Work for Good.
Payroll Giving
Employees can opt into a regular pre-tax donation through their payroll which could then be matched by the company. Depending on the level of tax they pay, there could be tax relief benefits for them too. Find more information here.

The cost of living crisis
With the cost of living crisis, there’s added pressure on children and young people and their families. 1 in 6 children have challenges with their mental health and wellbeing, and they can be waiting months to get support.
We are investing in the future generation
Children’s services in Surrey are so stretched that a young person can reach crisis point before professional services have responded to a referral. Eikon believes in prevention and helping early on before a crisis develops. With your help, we can ensure that this generation – your future employees, are mentally healthy and thriving.
We work with your colleagues’ and customers’ children:
89% of Surrey secondary schools are using our materials to improve young people’s wellbeing and resilience – so your support will likely benefit children that you know.

Becky would be very happy to talk through your requirements and partnering options available.
